Split pea soup with smoked meats in a multicooker

Take dried peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, smoked meats, sunflower oil, spices, and water.

Peel and chop the onions into small pieces. Rinse and peel the carrots, then grate them coarsely.

You can use various smoked meats for this pea soup, such as ribs, sausages, or bacon. It all depends on your taste. For this pea soup, I used smoked ribs, smoked sausages, and smoked sausage. Cut the ribs into separate pieces, slice the sausages into rings, and cut the smoked sausage into strips.

The bowl of my multicooker is designed for 5 liters, so the recipe is calculated for this volume. If your multicooker is smaller, reduce the amount of ingredients. We will start cooking pea soup by sautéing directly in the multicooker. Add sunflower oil to the bowl and start the sauté program. Place the sliced ​​smoked meats (except for the ribs), grated carrots, and sliced ​​onion on the bottom. Fry for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula.

Thoroughly rinse the peas until the water becomes clear.

Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut into small pieces.

To the sautéed ingredients for the soup, add the peas, potato slices, and smoked ribs to the multicooker bowl.

Pour water, preferably hot, but cold water will also work. Cover tightly with a lid. Set the stew/legume mode for 1 hour. If you like pieces of peas in the soup, 40 minutes is enough. You can set it to 1.5 hours for a thicker consistency. The great thing about pea soup in a multicooker is that you can adjust the cooking time to your taste. If you like fully cooked peas, leave it on the warming mode for a few hours after the stewing mode.

After the program is finished, release the steam by partially opening the lid. Taste the pea soup and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add bay leaves, ground black and aromatic pepper, thyme, or other herbs. If needed, add salt.

The pea soup with smoked meat in a multicooker is ready. Enjoy your meal!
